up a child in the way he should go; and when he is

Education is that which discloses to the wise and
disguises from the foolish their lack of
understanding.
-- Ambrose Bierce
1842-1914, American
Author, Editor, Journalist, ''The Devil's
Dictionary''
Education is not a discipline at all. Half
vocational, half an emptiness dressed up in garments
borrowed from philosophy, psychology, literature.
-- Edward Blishen
1920-, British Actor
The
liberally educated person is one who is able to
resist the easy and preferred answers, not because
he is obstinate but because he knows others worthy
of consideration.

Education in
our times must try to find whatever there is in students
that might yearn for completion, and to reconstruct the
learning that would enable them autonomously to seek that
completion.
-- Allan Bloom
1930-1992, American Educator,
Author
In my early
life, and probably even today, it is not sufficiently
understood that a child's education should include at least
a rudimentary grasp of religion, sex, and money. Without a
basic knowledge of these three primary facts in a normal
human being's life --subjects which stir the emotions,
create events and opportunities, and if they do not wholly
decide must greatly influence an individual's personality
--no human being's education can have a safe foundation.
-- Phyllis Bottome
1884-1963, American Writer
It is possible
to store the mind with a million facts and still be entirely
uneducated.
-- Alec Bourne
Education
makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to
govern, but impossible to enslave.
-- Omar Nelson Bradley
1893-1981, American General
